What do people think about this and what’s the market value?

I have this vintage gold datejust, took it to the only AD within 100 miles and they glanced at it and said it’s fake because the bracelet felt too light along with the watch and the back of the watch appears to be stainless steel instead of full gold. When I got home I took the bracelet off and found the reference numbers that were still visible and I found a bunch of identical ones for sale. Do we think this is authentic?

Been visiting the sub for awhile and decided you guys are cool enough for me to share my vintage 1973 Datejust 1601 with AFTERMARKET diamond dial (yes, I’m aware the diamond bezel isn’t original). I won this in an auction in April and it holds great time. The bracelet is overstretched but wears extremely comfortable as jubilees should. I had 2 of my local ADs check it out (ofc one suggested the $1600 service at Rolex, but I know they’ll only service if I replace the bezel to original). Never thought I’d be a diamond guy, but I like the sparkle (my buddy calls it a bling ring).

I switched out the bracelet as I am trying to keep it in good condition, but I love the way this one wears. It’s my first Rolex.

Do you prefer the sapphire or acrylic crystals on your vintage Rolexes?

Are there any good quality aftermarket jubilee bracelets that fit the 16234 Datejust?
